Chapter 607: The big breakfast
At the suggestion of her family that night, the next day, Chi Lian was convinced to throw a big breakfast at the palace hotel to celebrate the first achievement and form of recognition Phoenix media had accomplished. The palace hotel in conjunction with phoenix bakery and the royal kitchen worked rapidly together to put together this sudden feast which was well paid for. The congratulatory breakfast was attended by employees of phoenix media who were not working, friends and family.
A myriad of breakfast foods, sweets and deserts were served. It was of no surprise to anyone that even alcoholic beverages and champagne was served.
Even though it was planned at the last minute, almost everyone that she invited was here and every time Chi Lian turned around, she was handed a gift and the words congratulations would follow.
At this exact moment, Chi Lian was holding the children in one arm each and speaking to Chi Wei in a corner, away from the happy crowd of gluttonous guests who were feasting on the delicious foods.
She had learned the news of Yan Da’s death just this morning and asked T4 to snoop around. In all the things he found, one was that Chi Wei was in B city the previous night and that is precisely what brother and sister were discussing.
Chi Lian approached the subject gently, not wanting it to appear as if she was interrogating him. "Did you miss our old home and suddenly decide to visit brother?"
Chi Wei was holding a glass of champagne which was untouched and when his sister suddenly asked that question, he frowned. "What’s there to miss about a city that caused us mostly misery? We did find happiness eventually but there was a lot of sadness for us."
As he spoke, her brother twirled the champagne around slowly, seeming to be deep in thought. He seemed to hate B city almost as much as Chi Zimo who had no life or friends after their family lost their wealth in that city. But if he hated it that much, then why was he there.
"So, why did you go there?" she asked.
